FAQ
Rest breaks must also be spaced out so that they fall in the middle of each work period. This means if employees work 8 hour shifts, they should have one rest break before their meal break and the second rest break afterwards.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not require an employer to provide meal periods or rest breaks for their employees. Many employers, however, do provide breaks and/or meal periods. Breaks of short duration, from 5 to 20 minutes, are common.
There is no federal law or Arizona state law that says employers must provide breaks and lunches. There are mandatory break and lunch period laws in some other states, but not Arizona.
In most states, breaks are required by law. The employer has to, by law, enforce that employees take those breaks. If they fail to do so, it opens them up to very expensive lawsuits. I recall a decade or two back, The Gap has a massive settlement in the state of California over employees working through breaks.
There is, however, no legal requirement to provide a workday meal break in Florida, except for employees age 17 or younger. Until an employee's 18th birthday, Florida labor law requires that minor employees be given a 30-minute uninterrupted meal break for every 4 hours of continuous work.
Employees must be allowed a meal period when they work more than five hours in a shift. A meal period must be at least 30 minutes long and start between the second and fifth hour of the shift.
An eight-hour workday is a standardized work schedule in which an employee works for 8 hours per day. An employee who works an eight-hour workday will often work five days a week with two days off. This is sometimes known as a full-time job or working a 9-5, which means working 8 hours a day between 9 am and 5 pm.
It refers to "being at work", not "actively heads-down working on something". If you come in at 9am, do work, have lunch, make coffee, work more, suffer meetings, work, chat at the water cooler, work again, and leave at 5pm, you're working 9-5.
